hmmm... Xgrid comes with every mac... not just xservers/os x server... so a house/office with two or more macs can be a "cluster". there used to be an xgrid port for linux... dunno whatever happened to that project. it would be a cheap solution though... one good mac-head node... plus multiple cheap linux boxes running xgrid, openmpi, distcc... of course the linux nodes would have to have apple's gcc variant for distcc to work "right"... assuming of course xgrid for linux works... sorry, stopping now. just geeking out at the idea. hehehe. ------------ Cocoy Dayao [EMAIL PROTECTED] big mango - http://arkangel1a.blogspot.com "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware." --Alan Kay _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
